E74 - UK Chart Top 20 20/3/93 or Doing a bit for charity
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
The UK chart in 1993 was a proper mixed bag. Whilst acts from the late eighties and big established stars were still putting out material, new artists from diverse ends of the music spectrum such as alternative, boy bands, emerging britpop and even the zeitgeist of the time, Ragga were all throwing their hats into the ring to prise money from young music-buying kid’s hands.

The original Live Aid is still held up nearly 40 years after it occurred on July 13th 1985 as a major cultural moment. Bob Geldolf’s charity behemoth, bursting with musical acts and celebrities from the time raised mega-millions for the charities it was shoving to the forefront and raised the profile of nearly everybody involved.

Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, John Densmore and the leather-clad Lizard King himself Jim Morrison were The Doors. Described by their own website as intoxicating, genre-bending, provocative & uncompromising, this LA quartet went on to to establish a string of hit singles and big selling albums all within the space of under 5 years before Jimbo’s untimely death. Although the rest of the band did carry on, they could never scale the heights again with new material.

Wednesday Apr 05, 2023
This is part 1 of a double episode.
For the first time, Simon welcomes Chris Wellings to the podcast to pour over what some may consider to be Indie Landfill, the summer of 2005’s compilation album Festival, but this one is chock-full of big hitters.
This double disc cd was squarely aimed at the mainstream side of festival-goers of the year including a host of headliner-worthy acts as well as a few outliers too. On this first part we welcome Chris with open arms and discuss the tunes provided by Oasis, Feeder, The Ordinary Boys and plenty more.

E69 - Avril Lavigne - Let Go

Simon & Neil risk any remaining shred of credibility by reviewing Avril Lavigne’s 2002 album Let Go.
Released at the time of Pop-Punk saturation & armed with a trio of radio-friendly big hitters, Avril’s debut was seen for many as an attempt by record company bosses to cash in on the scene by creating a girl punker to peddle to the younger female demo… and it worked. The disc was the biggest pop debut of 2002 worldwide and made Miss Lavigne the youngest ever female to have a UK No.1 album but is it actually any good?
